FARMERS ALLIANCE UPON
CONGRESS.

Below we print in full the demands
made by the National Farmers ALI
ance in convention at Shreveport.
They are sound to the core and show
in ringing language the more impor-
tant purposes of this great body, and
the ends they propose to achieve.
This body was composed Of farmers
representing all the Southern States,
and the resolutions appended were
passed unanimously,
Resolved, That we the National
Farmers Alliance and Cooperative
Union of America, in convention as
sembled, advocate and endorse the fol-
lowing principles as in accord with the
sentiments and demands of the tillers
of the soil:
lst. We demand, first, the recogni-
ton, by incorporation, of trades,
unions, cooperative stores and such
other associations as may be organized
by the industrial classes to improve
their financial condition, or promote
their general welfare.
I'd. We demand that the all public
lands be held in small bodies, not ex
ceeding three hundred and twenty
acres to each purchaser, for actual set
tiers, on easy terms of payment.
3d. That large bodies of land held
by private individuals or corporations,
shall be assessed for taxation, at such
rates as they are offered to purchasers,
on credit of one, two and three years,
in bodies of one hundred and sixty
acres or less.
4th That whereas, large bodies of
our public lands, have been sold to
foreign capitalists, thus tending to the
establishment of a landed aristocracy
in this country, similar to that which
has reduced the people of Ireland, and
other monarchical Governments, to a
condition of abject serfdom; we de-
mand the passage of laws forbidding
the ownership of lands, by aliens, whose
allegiance belongs to other nations,
and that the public domain be held as
the heritage of aur own people and our
children after us.
5th. That all lands forfeitable by
railroads or other corporations, imme-
diately revert to the government and
be declared open for purchase by actual

HOME INDUSTRIES.

1t is clearly evident to most Ameri-
cans that the advantage of this coun-
try lies in multiplying domestic indus
tries rather than in diminishing them.
Every new industry that can be main
tanned, which supplies want felt by
the people. is clear gain in every
way, as employing workmen, keeping
profits at home, using materials pro-
duced here, paying wages that are
spent here, and tending to make us
industriously independent. The very
highest form of national life is that
which exists with the wilest possible
diversifcation Of industry. England
suffers to-day because she has intensi-
fed her manufactures and neglected to
cultivate her soil thoroughly. ireland
and India suffer because they have ag-
riculture without manufactures We
give our people a chance in every
direction, and the most robust national
life.-Iertale Record.

peaceably and righteously correct
wrongs which may have obtained
among the people.
We realize that we are needing as
a farmers organization prudence and
caution; that we need to look we'll be-
fore we leap. And again we wish to
warn our brethren that rash, head
long haste is liable to ditch our train
and blight our hopes.
We sometimes greatly fear that
there is today growing dissatisfac-
tion among us to want to cover too
much territory, to want to do too
much at once, to undertake more than
we can carry out. The wiser policy,
it seems to US, is to do one thing at a
time. To be sure that we lay our
foundations so that they will never
prove deficient or need to be moved
We need to cultivate a spirit of devo-
ton to our cause, and stronger con-
fidence in the final success Of our un-
dertaking. We need to fortify our
selves against schemers and trlcksters
who are ever on the alert to either
foist themselves upon the unsuspect-
ing, or lead them off in jim-crow or
ganizations
AS farmers we are not disposed to
oppose, but rather to encourage all
labor organizations which have for
their object the betterment of their
conditions, or the amelioration of their
suffering; but we 1ealize that as farm
ers we have a specific work to do,
which we alone can do, and which
none others can, nor will do for us
hence it will be wise for farmers to
stand steadily united as farmers, with
the inscription on their banner, peace
on earth and good will to all men,"
Our future is growing brighter each
day. Success is crowning our efforts
to educate, elevate and bring relief to
the oppressed new avenues of relief
are opening, and hope and confidence
is being felt along the line.-1He Me-, r

than is now expended on a poor crop.
Labor expended in preparing land for
a crop usually gives more net profit
than the labor expended in cultivating
the crop. 1t is almost impossible to
produce a profitable crop on poorly
prepared land. Eight months of pre-
paration and four months of cultiva-
tion are usually necessary.
The late Prof. w. G. Kerr, State
Geologist, was a warm advocate for
the use of mari and considered it the
great renovator for the Eastern coun-
ties Of North Carolina. Experiments
made last year near Charlotte N c.,
with Craven county mari gave fine re-
suits, and showed that it would pay to
transport it to the clay hills of central
Carolina for fertilizer or renovator.
Farmers, try it on your land that has
laid out this year. A.

WHAT WE MUST DO.

In December the farmers of this
county have resolved to hold in this
place Farmers Institute-the occa-
sion is most propitious. For besides
the fact that the farmer can at this
time OF. the year absent himself from
his farm, the State Grange meets here
and this will bring here some Of the
best and most earnest farmers in the
State.
The benefits to be derived from an
Institute of the kind are incalculable
and have been so often told that the
.SoutAerner need not even attempt to
enumerate
But it wishes to see Edgecombe
have one that is in keeping with the
foremost agricultural county in the
State.
The committee who have the matter
in charge will do their part to get up
a most attractive programme.
Now the people of Edgecombe must
put their " best foot foremost" There
will be here people from all parts Of
the State and invited guests from
various distant places. We must cap
ture all with our hospitality, and show
them the many and great advantages
which this county and section un-
doubtedly possesses.
1t is true we have no free lands for
pre-emption or none to sell for song.
The very fact that we have not, speaks
greatly in our favor.
Our lands are valuable, valuable be
cause they are productive. Produc-
tive by nature and made more SO by
man.
Let us show this, and those who
come from afar, WI here capital is abun
dant and the population is overflow
ing, will see that while Edgecombe is
not the place for the speculator it is
for the INVESTOR where handsome re-
turns are sure.
The Edgecombe farmer must do
the showing
The people of Tarboro must under
take the hospitality.
For this and these, let us all be un-
animous, and all go to work.-1ar-

GREEN MANURING.
NUMBER IL.

The entire South has almost an un-
limited capacity for producing material
for green manuring at very moder-
ate cost, but the eastern part Of the
Atlantic States have another fertilizing
element that is almost equal in value,
and when combined with green ma
nuring produces the finest results. We
refer to the we'll known shell mari,
which underlies so much of the land
of eastern Carolina and which has been
used with success for many years, by
a number of our best farmers.
In conversation with Mr.. NJ. w.
Carman of Craven county who lives a
few miles North of New Berne we
learned that he had used mari on a
portion of his land during the past few
years, at the rate of one hundred to
one hundred and fifty bushels or about
five tons per acre, with marked results.
The plan adopted by him was to allow
the land to lie idle year and to be COW
cred with a growth of grass and weeds
for turning in. The mari was spread
broadcast in the fall and plowed un-
der at some convenient time during the
winter or early spring. Mr.. Carman,
states that land which would not pro-
duce cotton two feet high with out ma
nure, will, after being marled produce
cotton four feet high, and will double
the product of lint per acre. The mari
on his land contains about eighty-five
per cent of lime. The average mari
does not contain over fixty per cent of
lime and larger amount can be used
with safety.
We think that a moderate applica-
tion of mari every few years will give
better results than a large amount at
once. A crop of cow pea vines, and
from one to two hundred bushels of
mari per acre, will put the land in con-
dition to produce double quantity of
cotton or corn, with no more labor

HOW COLLARS AND CUFFS ARE
POLISHED.

Gloss is impaired to collars and cuffs
in steam laundries by passing them be-
tween two hot revolving cylinders un-
der heavy pressure. Where this ma
chine is not used suitable polishing
irons and the expenditure of physical
strength in bearing down upon and
vigorously rubbing the linen probably
account in the main for the polish.
Whatever preparation may be used in
starch, a good "polishing" with a
smooth iron is needed to bring out the
gloss. A laundry gloss said to impart
a good polish to shirt bosoms, collars
and cuffs is made as follows: Melt
slowly together two ounces of sperma-
ceti and one ounce of white wax
When cold add piece the size of a
pea to sufficient starch, made in the
usual way, for a dozen bosoms.-

OUR FUTURE.

The shadows of disappointment and
blighted hopes for the past twenty-five
years have been mantling and over
shadowing with gloom and despond-
edcy the homes of millions who have
won them honestly, and whose Drawn
and brain have been severely taxed to
hold them against the avaricous en-
croachments of soulles greed and COM
bined rascality.
During all these years, of "thrift
by farming" we have seen cities
spring up glittering with wealth and
magnifcence; we have seen beauty
and splendor adorning the homes Of
our professionals" merchants, manu-
facturers and government "pets." We
have seen towns and cities enjoying
unparalleled prosperity; we have seen
wealth pouring into the laps of those
who "toil not" while the wealth pro-
ducers have slowly but surely grown
poorer year after year we have seen
unrest, dissatisfaction and lost conf
dence in the purity of our government
depicted in the countenances of our
laboring masses we see the last little
vestige of the public domain, the herit
age of "the people," and that which
we have so proudly hoped would
furnish our children homes, being
rapidly fritted away to home and
foreign syndicates and capitalists we
see misrule and class legislation grind
ing to powder the blood-bought privi-
leges of American citizens. The peo-
pie are being abused, and spirit of
investigation and disposition to cor
rect the shameful abuses and wrongs
are rapidly obtaining among the
masses. A revolution is now pending,
and we want to impress upon people
this important fact: That created
revolutions are dangerous. Created
revolutions are the fruitful source of
disruption, disorganization and ruin.
But revolutions that are born natur-
ally, and that are the legitimate re-
suits of practical political economy,
are always elevating; tending to har-
monize discordant elements and to

FARMING THAT PAYS.
1t Don't pay to Have Your Smokehouse
in Cincinnati.

Every farmer should aim to raise
all the farm products needed for do
mestic use first The independence of
farm lies here. He grows every sup
ply for his table, so far as his soil and
climate permits, under his own eye.
He is dependent on no one for the neces-
sites of life, or even for the luxuries
of his table. Every variety Of fruit
suited to his locality should be produ-
ced for his own use, let him live near
or remote from the city. Then, let
him increase the acreage of every va
riety that pays in the market to his
ability to handle it without loss-his
losses will often over-balance profit.
1t is not wise for the grower to put
himself at the mercy Of others. If he
does, he will often find their tender
mercy cruel They will let his perish
able property 60 to waste, unless they
can secure the lions share of the pro-
fits.
Besides grain crops and stock grow
ing as a branch of farming, every farm
adapted to it should have growing on
it an orchard of every variety of fruit
demanded by the market at paying
prices. Do not run so much to one
kind of fruit that you would suffer
heavy embarrassment if it fails. All
kinds of fruit seldom fail in one year.

The SueRr Trust.

New YORK, November 1st.-It is now
reported that the attempt to form a
sugar trust is failure. A conference of
refners has been progressing secretly,
and at one time it was reported that
Henry Havemeyer had been chosen
President of the trust, but this report
is now said to have been premature. At
the several offices to-day it was said that
the matter of the trust is still in abey-
ance. One broker said that the refiners
feared that the trust would be one-man
power with Havemeyer at the head,
and one firm which agreed to stop work
is known to have bought large quantities
of raw sugar in open market, and two
Boston houses have refused to enter the
combination on any terms.

seems to be diversity of opinion among
importers as to value of this article. Up
to the arrival of the Australia rice was
sold in large quantities at 41ac, so days.
Then the largest importer offered freely
at 411c. This of course made 4114c the
ruling price.
Que large importer is still holding
firm at Age, basing his opinion on high
price OF rice East, and the impossihility
of any Carolina coming to this market.
